I used dry brown sugar and used a mixture of all purpose, whole wheat, and a tiny bit of flaxmeal because those are what I had on hand. My muffins tasted a bit chewy. I rather my muffins be moist and flaky instead of moist and rubbery. There could have been a bit more spice and sweetness in there as well. Very little depth of flavor and very poor texture. Edible, but not very enjoyable. I would rather make a higher calorie version and eat less of them.

I used 2 C Whole Wheat Flour, 1 Tbs Applesauce, 1 tsp fresh ginger (finely shredded), 2/3 C Chobani Vanilla Yogurt, 2/3 C 2% Milk, and 1 Lrg Green Apple. I folded the wet ingredients into the dry with a spatula and baked for 20 min. My elevation is 4,500 ft in an arid environment. These turned out wonderfully although next time I think I'll switch out the applesauce for a Tbs of pumpkin. Would love to see how that tastes!

These muffins were tasty, though I made several notable alterations:
1) I only had vanilla non-fat yogurt, so I reduced the sugar to 2/3c.
2) I used all-purpose flour and added 2/3c of oats to the liquid mixture - whole wheat flour would have been desirable but I didn't have any :(
3) I 2 whole apples, which amounted to approximately 1.5c.
Next time I might consider adding some baking powder.
It is true that they are a bit "gummy" as opposed to crumbly, but I don't find that to be a big turn off.

I will NOT make them again. Very tough and chewy. Flavors were so mild, I couldn't taste anything but the ginger. I followed the recipe to a T. I mixed the batter minimally, and took them out of the oven after 20 minutes.

I enjoyed this very much. The only thing stopping me from giving 5 stars is that I didn't care for the spices much. The rating is for a low fat recipe. Next time I will eliminate the allspice and double the cinnamon.

These muffins are really delicious, and a nice, low cal option for snacking and breakfast. I followed the recipe, except that I reduced the sugar to 3/4 cup and I used just plain, white sugar. I also used all white flour instead of half and half. I think that next time I might try replacing that tablespoon of oil for a tablespoon of applesauce - it's a common baking swap and seeing as these are apple muffins I think that the applesauce would lend nicely to the apple flavor of the muffin. I also only had vanilla yogurt on hand, so I used that - which was another reason that I chose to lessen the amount of sugar used. The chunks of apples in the muffin were a really nice treat! The recipe states that it only makes a dozen muffins, but I got a dozen and a half, so that was nice! This was a great recipe!

These muffins turned out awsome, they were so moist and fluffy. I would recommend checking on your muffins after 20 minutes cooking time though as this was all the time mine needed in the oven, any longer and they would have been over done. Also be sure to only mix your ingredients until just moistened to avoid your muffins turning out tough. Thank you so much for providing a great healthy recipe for my family :)
